Nucleoid-associated proteins (NAPs) are global regulators of gene expression in Escherichia coli, which affect DNA conformation by bending, wrapping and bridging the DNA. Two of these--H-NS and… (More)

The effects of microcystins from cyanobacterial cells on various oxidative stress biomarkers in liver, kidney and gill tissues in freshwater tilapia fish (Oreochromis sp.) were investigated under… (More)

Increasing evidence suggests that oxidative stress may play a significant role in causing microcystin (MCs) toxicity not only in mammals, but also in fish. MCs are a family of cyclic peptide toxins… (More)

Microcystins (MCs) have been reported to induce oxidative stress in aquatic organisms including fish. The effect of acute exposure to toxic cyanobacterial material containing MCs on antioxidant… (More)

IHF and HU are two heterodimeric nucleoid-associated proteins (NAP) that belong to the same protein family but interact differently with the DNA. IHF is a sequence-specific DNA-binding protein that… (More)

DNA cytosine methylation regulates gene expression in mammals. In bacteria, its role in gene expression and genome architecture is less understood. Here we perform high-throughput sequencing of… (More)
